Tipping Point

With Christmas week approaching, family obligations are going to keep blogging here to a minimum. I need to focus on that which I think is necessary to share and also to promote links to my latest articles.

As regular WarOnGuns Correspondents know, I do my best to post and comment on links you send me, to credit you, and to email back links to resulting posts. I need to suspend that practice until after Christmas and focus what time I have to make sure my essential work gets done.

I appreciate that some of you consistently spend time sharing articles of interest with me and your fellow readers.  Thanks for understanding that I need to pass on your tips for a while.

We're Moving!

If your rights are in any way delayed due to this imposed inability to comply with mandated prior restraints, tough. [More]

Firearms Friday Redux

Hanlon's Razor* Reversed?

[More]

So Mr. Spox may not be the Vulcan chessmaster he's cracked up to be?

I have an alternative theory: Fairfax is in symbiosis with the Deep State.  I would not be surprised to find they set Trump up to alienate his base and allow the swamp to seep back in.

A Question of Capacity

A robbery was thwarted Wednesday night when a pizza delivery man struggled with an assailant who wielded a loaded rifle magazine, police said. [More]

So is the problem the proliferation of "high capacity" magazines or low capacity reptiles?

We're the Only Ones Animal-Loving Enough

Bossier City Police Officer arrested for filming himself having sex with an animal [More]

At least now we know why he wanted to get home at the end of his shift...

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Child' Is

I wonder if "adolescents ages ... to 19" gives us any clues...

Not Worth the Paper It's Printed On

Forty-two-year-old Christopher Kelley was charged Wednesday with possessing a firearm despite a domestic violence order of protection. [More]

Wait a minute -- that would be against the law...

#FirearmsFriday

Michael will be calling me at 11:24 Eastern this morning to talk my take on the "bump stock" ban and more.

Assuming most of us are outside the KPEG/KGTL broadcast range you can listen via livestream on the show's website or on Facebook, where I understand you can give feedback plus listen in during the commercial breaks.

Her Priority was Safety

This reminds me of nothing so much as this.

Why Isn’t the NRA Screaming About the Bump Stock Ban?

Good question. [More]

We know why. 

The rest of this is about what you'd expect from this appropriately-named and fearful little bigot.

New York Court Order Concludes Gun Permit Insufficient Cause for Car Search

“The Court does not find that the search of the Defendant's car was justified in any manner and accordingly grants the Defendant's motion and suppresses any evidence obtained from the search of the Defendant's car,” George E. Fufidio, Judge of the Westchester County Court wrote.  [More]

I see some in comments questioning the defendant's choices. That's not the significance of this, the judge's order is. Since the DA is going to appeal, the issue is what can permit holders do to make sure the judge's opinion is not overturned?

On Again?

See, There's Good Evil and There's Bad Evil

Public university admits it exempts race-based clubs from discrimination rules to give them a ‘safe space’ [More]

And no, of course not everyone is allowed to decide what's kept out of a safe space for them. Depending, that would be racist!

The Equalizer

Missoula math prof 'made use of my handgun to tip the balance of power' in home invasion [More]

What a weakling, right, "entertainer Henry Rollins"?

And so much for bloodthirsty gun owners-- the presence of a firearm in moral hands actually averted violence.

Curious, how Opposite Day "progressives" claiming egalitarian motives are so rabidly opposed to equalizers...

So THAT's What the Founders Meant...

The alarming upshot of the ruling is its suggestion that Title IX may sometimes require colleges to censor or block all students’ access to certain internet sites or services based solely on anonymous statements made in an online forum that the university does not control, by people who may not be on campus, or even affiliated with the university at all.

I mean, read it yourself...

No Sympathy

This Parkland dad blamed gutlessness, not guns, for tragedy. For that he faced vile abuse [More]

Right. Anyone opposing totalitarians must be destroyed.

Pretty Neat Trick

Represent constituent views on "gender identity" and be labeled a pro-lynching racist.  [More]

They sure know how to lead "Republicans" around by the nose.
